About Forever North by G.P. Connolly
The world is dying. Storms, heatwaves, and rising seas have torn society apart, and the government’s answer — the Aiken Solution — tightens its grip with every disaster. Camps. Relocations. Vanishings. Most people obey. Ritchie Davis never gets the chance.
When Ritchie and his young son are violently separated, he’s thrust into a collapsing country ruled by fear and silence. To get his boy back, he must cross a landscape of abandoned towns, fractured communities, and brutal camps where survival demands cunning, nerve, and the refusal to trust anyone.
Every mile is a gamble. Every stranger hides a motive. And every rumour whispers the same thing: the regime’s power is spreading faster — and darker — than anyone realises.
Ritchie has one mission: find his son before the world closes in completely. His only glimmer of hope is a place spoken of in hushed tones, a sanctuary somewhere beyond the chaos. Myth or real, it’s the only future left. And Ritchie will tear through anyone, or anything, that stands between him and his son.
Forever North is a relentless, gritty, atmospheric dystopian thriller about survival, loyalty, and the fierce love that refuses to die in a world where the climate has turned hostile and the government even more so. Haunting and propulsive, it asks:
How far would you go to save the last person who matters?

Rhapsody in Black: An Elena del Carral Mystery by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
BALLET CAN BE MURDER… a different kind of cozy.
Elena del Carral has been invited to dance in a Gala Performance by none other than Derek Michaels, founder of the world-renowned Terpsichore Ballet in New York City. She’s also been invited to audition for Black Rhapsody, the unfinished ballet from the late choreographic master, René Fauchier. Delighted, Elena accepts the invitation, knowing this performance will enhance her career, not only as a principal dancer, but also as an up-and-coming choreographer, as well.

About Ruffling the Hornets nest
The world is coming to full grips with what has been formally termed as Yamalistaties Drymatisis by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. Simply known as the White Death in layman’s tongue. Since the first recorded death 3 weeks ago in the Yamal Peninsula of Russia, a total of just a shade over 15 million cases have been confirmed world-wide with no recorded survivors. A 100% mortality rate. The white death has killed a population equal to the entire population of Zimbabwe in just 3 weeks almost half the number of people killed by AIDS since the early1980s up until the present day. Unlike AIDS which had taken almost three sitting Head of States of the USA to fully acknowledge it, Reagan ignored it, Bush senior followed suit, Clinton for some time didn’t fully acknowledge the global impact of AIDS. AIDS a virus which had been wrongly attributed as the curse of homosexuals. The white death required only one head of State of the USA to fully acknowledge it as a universal disaster. It was just a matter of time before some ignorant African leader came out in the public gobsmacking the world by saying the disease is curable with a nice cold shower, just like a certain African leader once said after having unprotected sex he had a shower to clean of the AIDS virus. This is the type of thinking which stereotypes the Africans as a bunch of oblivious and myopic sex-maniacs. On 17 April the first case of the white death was recorded in Zimbabwe. A 22 year old Zimbabwean law student learning in Russia on vacation in Zimbabwe named Nigel Gonzo became the first person in Zimbabwe to die from it. With the shambolic and antediluvian health care structures in Zimbabwe, it’s just a matter of time before the entire population is cleaned up. The Dark Continent is a sitting duck to communicable diseases. The white death will sweep across it like a drugged up Californian wild fire on Mercury. Like one medical expert amply said.
“Africa’s health care facilities are tinder boxes waiting for a match stick to light them up.”

About The Confession Paradox by A. J. Ellsworth
A man walks into a police station and confesses to a murder.
The details are disturbingly precise. The timeline doesn’t quite fit. And yet, the case seems eager to conclude.
The Confession Paradox is a psychological thriller that explores what happens when certainty arrives too easily. As the investigation unfolds, subtle inconsistencies raise uncomfortable questions—not just about guilt, but about how truth is shaped, guided, and accepted. The story focuses less on action and more on psychological pressure, institutional process, and the quiet forces that encourage closure over doubt.
This is a short, tightly paced read that emphasizes atmosphere and tension rather than spectacle. With minimal violence and a controlled, unsettling tone, the book examines responsibility, belief, and the danger of explanations that feel complete before they are fully understood.
Free on Kindle from January 29 through January 31, 2026.
The Confession Paradox is a standalone psychological thriller available as a Kindle Short Read.

About Like the Clouds Break by Aurora Stenulson
Some storms never break, they just change direction.
Hate is easy. Hate is natural. Hate has consumed Stella Santino.
Five years ago, a massive blackout storm stole Ryder Mason—her first love, and the only person who kept her steady. She’s been broken ever since, driven by two sources: grief as cold as the night he died, and the fierce, burning certainty that Ryder’s best friend, Trev Collins, is responsible for his death.
Trev’s guilt is written in his silence and his unstable temper, which only feeds Stella’s consuming hatred. He was the last person to see Ryder alive, and the chaos Trev brings feels exactly like the storm that ruined her life.
The only refuge Stella finds is with JR. His steady presence is a quiet melody in what’s left of her messy life. But to choose JR is to finally close the door on Ryder’s memory, which is a sacrifice that feels less like healing and more like the ultimate and final betrayal of the man she can’t let go of.
When a sudden truth about Ryder’s final night throws Stella and Trev together, the wall of her hatred starts to crack. As her anger collapses, it only ignites a burning connection that demands her to make an impossible choice.
A powerful and suspenseful finale to the Mount Vernon trilogy, Like the Clouds Break is a devastating account of grief, fate, and the brutal truth that shatters all certainty. Will Stella accept the quiet comfort of the life JR offers, or is she destined to chase the brutal truth from the night she lost Ryder, even if it means running straight into the arms of the storm she’s learned to fight against?

About The Lost Art of Being Good Enough: Finding Freedom from the Self-improvement Trap
Free from 31/01/2026 to 04/02/2026
What if the secret to a better life isn’t becoming more, but realizing you’re already enough?
In a world obsessed with optimization, where meditation apps promise enlightenment for $12.99/month and Instagram yogis perform impossible poses in exotic locations, comes a revolutionary message: You have permission to be exactly as you are.
The Lost Art of Being Good Enough exposes the multi-trillion-dollar self-improvement industry’s dirtiest secret—it only works if you never feel sufficient. While everyone else is selling you ladders to climb, this book hands you the key to a door you already have: the door to radical self-acceptance.
From Alex Harper, the irreverent voice behind the Anti-Guru Chronicles, comes a manifesto for the adequacy revolution. Harper combines cutting insight, refreshing humor, and practical tools to help you:
Break free from the tyranny of “should” and discover what actually works for your body, mind, and life
Reclaim the lost art of rest by rejecting “productive relaxation” and embracing genuine recovery
Calculate your Self-Improvement ROI and stop wasting resources on practices that create more inadequacy than value
Master the Permission Protocol, a step-by-step method for becoming your own authority
Design reality-based practices that fit your actual life, not some influencer’s fantasy
Unlike traditional self-help that offers yet another system promising transformation, The Lost Art of Being Good Enough offers liberation from systems altogether. It’s not about finding the perfect practice—it’s about finding YOUR practice, however messy, inconsistent, or “insufficient” it might look to the wellness world.
Whether you’re a meditation dropout, wellness skeptic, recovering perfectionist, or simply someone exhausted by the endless pursuit of self-optimization, this book offers something revolutionary: permission to trust your own experience over what self-proclaimed gurus insist should work.
The lost art of being good enough isn’t about lowering your standards—it’s about recognizing that true wellbeing comes not from adding more, but from removing the artificial barriers between you and your inherent worthiness.
Join the adequacy revolution. Your nervous system (and your wallet) will thank you.

Tired of trying to meditate like a serene statue while your mind throws a rave?
You’ve downloaded the apps, bought the overpriced cushions, maybe even attempted a silent retreat (and snuck out early).

You might be a Mindfulness Dropout.
Welcome to the club! Alex Harper, a fellow meditation failure, knows your pain.

About The Intercessor
A grisly murder suicide, involving the deaths of twelve people, was quickly dismissed by the police as an open-and-shut case. A retired old-school detective, with too much time on his hands, decided to take it on himself to carry out further investigations. It didn’t help that the investigating detective on the case was once the retired detective’s subordinate, an arrogant know-it-all whose obstinate decisions would not be altered.
Regardless, the retired detective looked deeper into the case and the result of his investigations led him to the far reaches of the country before realising that there was far more to this case than met the eye.
He feared that the deaths had not finished, but with no resources and no real proof to back up his suspicions.
How would he be able to prevent further carnage?
